localslackirc VS metronome

> Really? Just a git command, a button press on GitHub? So why don't they just do it? Why don't they apply the patches when people send the code in then?

Because the patch was bad.

> Something like a month later the guy just rewrote the patch without even engaging with me.

Do you think he'd have done that if the patch was good? Was his version completely identical to yours?

> Yeah, that made me feel like shit

At least it didn't introduce a new bug to every user… I'm sure collective feelings of the userbase were less harmed in this case.

> Sorry but maintainers don't have the moral superiority to demand free labor

But you have the moral superiority to demand free labour from maintainers, to review, improve, test your patch?

Look at this pull request for example: https://github.com/ltworf/localslackirc/pull/387

How could a thing like that be merged?

When asked to split it, he just proceeded to open tens of pull requests that were all based on the previous one, in a chain. And every commit contains thousands of lines of unrelated changes with what the description is.

Then he got upset.

plugging my IRC gateway https://github.com/ltworf/localslackirc

I find that using slack from IRC, and having the option to deprive some people/channels to notify me is very helpful to reduce the amount of distractions.

I could never understand why people insist on using requests rather than the stdlib (which works just fine).

When async became a thing, I remember hitting some bug in aiohttp so I wrote myself a tiny (just doing the bit I needed) HTTP async client, which I figured was easier than wrestling aiohttp into compliance.

These days aiohttp is quite nice for async, and for sync I just use the stdlib.

I normally use [localslackirc](https://github.com/ltworf/localslackirc) to use slack.

I can grep through the logs if I need to find something. That's really really fast compared to their search on the website.

I also get other advantages such as not automatically being forced to see all the reaction GIFs and being able to silence notifications from certain users that abuse them.

I'm working on one in my spare time. Currently its just a python script. But you can change time signatures, tempo and do speed drills (gradually increasing bpm, my motivation for making this) https://github.com/satyam-bhardwaj/metronome
